[Freemint-list] [MiNT] fVDI in FreeMiNT CVS?

[Ryan Daum]

I gotta figure porting git to TOS/MiNT would be difficult also on account
of the fact that the SHA1 would be very CPU intensive and git would run
very slowly on an 8mhz 68000.

The mmap problem I imagine one could work around.

Hm, now I'm curious :-)
